Swearing in topic titles

Recommended Posts

Since we can turn avatars/sigs off when we are at work, avoid certain forums etc but unfortunately swearing, certain words like pussy etc in the topic titles can't be avoided.

 

Perhaps there could be a rule to just not swear in the topic titles of threads? Pretty minor request I think as they can swear it up in the thread itself.

We shouldn't condone you people slacking off at work. Swearing must stay to keep you procrastinating ma'fuckers in line. whoa, did I say fuck?

If you can turn off sigs and avatars at work (which I do), can't you also avoid clicking on a topic with a curse word in it?

 

Really, most of us are adults here. I see no problems with swearing in topic titles.

Oh no, my boss just walked in and yelled at me for viewing the "Weird Shit You've Been Privy To" thread. He said he wouldn't have a problem with me skipping my responsibilities if I was reading the "When She's Thirteen" thread, but now I have to see him in his office in 5 minutes.

 

Dam, err, Darn you potty-mouths!... :angry:

:lol:

 

The only complaint I would have is if people started a topic with just "Fuck...". It probably never happend, but that's just a small nitpick.

 

Im all for foul language, esxcept the poster who is apparently 8 years old from a few weeks ago. :lol:

Heh, if cursing ever gets frowned upon, I'll be banned in minutes. It's really awful how much I type the word fuck, but I say it aloud about a thousand more times than I write it in a day. I've cussed fluently since childhood.

Cursing is fine in posts and within the thread itself. I assumed the minor thing of not doing it in the title of topics was within the realm of ability of the forum members and would only take minor forethought and probably wouldn't inconvience anyone with at least honeybee intelligence.

 

I overestimated.

Nice work.

 

Swearing in topic titles, you'd think, shouldn't be allowed, but really, if you have the power to view it in topic titles to start with, then you view it in the threads themselves.

What if you think you're clicking on a presumably nice clean work safe thread, and lo, some jerk writes vulgar grafitti everywhere? The gruff vernacular in the titles could warn you of such an employment-related faux pas. I realize I'm going overboard here, I'm just a proponent of the "slippery slope" theory against messageboard workplace viewing sanitation.
